Towards the end of last year, the head of the new National Police chiefs council Sara Thornton, revealed that due to budget cuts and the changing nature of criminality meant that Police in England and wales may no longer attend Burglaries.

This surprised a lot of people across the nation but would you be more shocked to learn that 25 per cent of Brits have no home security at all.

New research, from the self-storage company Space Station has revealed 25 per cent of those surveyed admitted they have no home security at all, while another 14 per cent have only spent £50 or less in protecting their home indicating to a lax approach to protecting their home and belongings. Burglar alarms were the most commonly-purchased form of home security, followed by window alarms and floodlights - but is that enough?
